Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 821

“What’s wrong with her?” Duanmu Zhe looked at the broken pieces all over the floor. He unhappily frowned and bellowed, “Xue, stop it!”

The noises from things being smashed ceased the moment Duanmu Zhe spoke. After a while, Duanmu Xue was seen walking out of the room with an ornament in her hand. She lifted it and aimed it at Duanmu Zhe.

“Miss Xue, please don’t…” The maids all knew how petulant Duanmu Xue was. After all, she was pampered by Duanmu Aotian as well as her older brother. The fact that she lost her parents at a young age had caused the two men in the Duanmu family to shower her with their love. Who knew she was so spoiled that she would even attack her brother?

“What are you doing?” Duanmu Zhe said this with a sober tone as he coldly looked at his younger sister.

Duanmu Xue lifted the ornament, looking upset. As she could not bring herself to hit Duanmu Zhe with the ornament, she could only lash out at the maids and threw it at them instead, yelling, “I asked you all to f*ck off! Why are you still here? F*ck you all!”

“Ahh!” They all scattered and ran for their lives.

Duanmu Zhe grabbed Duanmu Xue by her hand to stop her. “Are you done?”

“Let go of me!” Duanmu Xue struggled to escape. “I don’t need you to look after me. Since you never supported me and chose to be on my side, who are you to stop me now? Let go!” Like a mad person, she opened her mouth and bit Duanmu Zhe’s arm.

Duanmu Xue angrily bit his arm until it bled. The maids standing next to them were terrified and they hugged each other, afraid of uttering a word.

Duanmu Xue was indeed too scary. She was even scarier than the gang members on the street. At least they could still run away from the gang members when they saw them, but… she was their employer. Even if they ran away, they would still be summoned back.

Duanmu Xue had no idea how long she had been biting his arm; the only thing she knew was that she tasted blood in her mouth. But Duanmu Zhe still had not let go of her. It was at this point that she started to loosen her bite and looked at Duanmu Zhe angrily. “Why are you always against me? Why? Do you consider me your sister at all?”

Duanmu Zhe was annoyed by those words. He looked around at the maids around her and said softly, “You can all go now. If you’re injured, please go see a doctor. Come to me for reimbursement for any medical expenses after that.”

“Thank you, Young Master Zhe. We will excuse ourselves now.” They held onto each other and left.

After they were all gone, Duanmu Zhe turned around and looked at Duanmu Xue, who was completely out of control. He said with an annoyed voice, “It’s because you are my sister that I am stopping you from making mistakes.”

“Mistakes?” Duanmu Xue let out a cold laugh. Her eyes were all red and filled with blood streaks, as a result of her losing her temper. Even her hair was in a mess. The usually elegant princess look was non-existent today.

“What do you mean by mistakes? Does that mean I can’t even boldly pursue my happiness? You’ve never wanted to support me on this. All this while, you have been stopping me and now you say that I am making mistakes. You never treat me like your own sister.”

Duanmu Zhe frowned. “Pursue your happiness? Xue, are you sure you’ll be happy if you marry him? Does he even like you? Has he ever given you any hope? Does he even give you a second look?”

Duanmu Xue did not respond.

“The fact that I am stopping you doesn’t mean I’m trying to harm you. First of all, he doesn’t like you at all. This marriage would not have been called off if he just had the slightest of feelings for you. Secondly, he has a family. He’s not someone you should desire to be with. Do you understand?” Duanmu Zhe emphasized the last bit of his sentence with the hope that Duanmu Xue could realize that Ye Moxuan already had a wife.

But Duanmu Xue had completely lost herself and her sanity. She forcefully shook off his hands and let out a big scream. “No! He’s not married because that wedding never took place; he did not even show up to that wedding. Previously, I thought they were going to get married, so I banished that thought. But, Zhe, do you know that he didn’t show up at the wedding, yet he showed up in front of me? God has allowed him to escape death once and to wake up with memory loss. This is God’s arrangement and decision. He’s destined to be engaged to me; he’s destined to be with me!”

“Destined?” Duanmu Zhe shook his head and showed a bitter smile. “You silly girl. ‘Destiny’ doesn’t exist in this world, even if you believed it did. Let me tell you; even if there’s such a thing as destiny, Ye Moxuan is destined to fall for Han Muzi. He did not like you before his memory loss, and he will still not fall for you after his memory loss.”

Each one of Duanmu Zhe’s words pierced through Duanmu Xue’s heart.

“Tell me what is this, if it’s not destiny?”

These words provoked Duanmu Xue. She stared dully at Duanmu Zhe before she could even react to those words. It seemed like she was about to say something but she closed her mouth again, having no more energy to argue with him.

“Did I get it right?” Duanmu Zhe smiled and walked toward her. He tucked her unkempt hair behind her ears and gently wiped off the tears at the corner of her eyes as well as those on her cheeks. He let out a big sigh and continued, “My silly little sister. You are the treasure of the Duanmu family. You are pretty and outstanding. Do you know how many men in the world like you? Why do you need to lose yourself for a man who won’t even bat you an eye? Did you already forget what Dad and Mom told us before they passed?”

Duanmu Xue stood there blankly while Duanmu Zhe wiped off her tears.

“Dad and Mom said that whether you’re a girl or boy, you have to be cautious with your behavior. Don’t let anyone cause you to lose your true self. As the children of the Duanmu family, we need to take courage.”

These words touched Duanmu Xue. She felt that she had lost her dignity because of Ye Moxuan—especially last night when he said that he did not want to marry her. She immediately broke down in front of anyone and quickly stood up to chase after him but was stopped by Duanmu Aotian. She looked flustered and all over the place. She had lost her temper since she got back, until this moment. She had indeed… become a disgrace to herself.

Growing up, Duanmu Xue had always been treasured by people and had never been rejected by anyone. The thought of this made Duanmu Xue weep even more. She bit her lower lip and slowly walked into Duanmu Zhe’s arms before hugging him and utterly breaking down.

“Zhe… Sob. But I like him. He’s the only person I’ve ever liked in my whole life and I just want to be with him…”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 822

After all, they were siblings. Seeing her like this saddened Duanmu Zhe.

Even so, he still could not allow her to interfere in other’s relationships because that would be immoral. Duanmu Zhe’s softly patted Duanmu Xue on her back with his large hand and consoled her, “It’s okay. Don’t cry anymore. What’s so good about Ye Moxuan? There’s more than one man in this whole world, and I can certainly recommend some even better ones to you. Besides, it’s his loss for not choosing you.”

Duanmu Xue was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms, and her tears could not stop rolling down her cheeks; she kept shaking her head. Duanmu Zhe could only continue to comfort her.

She was crying so hard that she was twitching when she stopped crying. At the same time, she looked at Duanmu Zhe’s arm that was still bleeding. The flesh seemed a little mutilated, and the wound looked quite severe.

“I’m sorry, Zhe… I was out of control earlier. Is it painful?” she asked him in tears and distress.

Duanmu Zhe touched her head and bitterly smiled. “As long as you promise to not do any of these things again, I’ll let you bite me as many times as you please. Small wounds like these are harmless.”

“I’m so sorry. I’ll never… be such a disgrace anymore.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Zhe thought that she had already given up on Ye Moxuan. He finally felt relieved and said, “It’s good that you can get over him. A man like him is unworthy.”

“Zhe, I’m okay now. You should go and bandage the wound. Don’t wait until it gets worse.” After she said this, she firmly wiped off the tears from her eyes and urged him.

Duanmu Zhe hesitantly took a look at her back and said, “I’ll go and take care of my wound, and I will ask the maids to come over later to clean your room. Get some rest and get a nice shower to calm yourself down. I’ll bring you out for some fresh air and introduce some nicer guys to you.”

“Zhe, go and take care of your wound.” Duanmu Xue steered him toward the stairs from the back and he had no choice but to visit a doctor for the wound.

Watching Duanmu Zhe leave, Duanmu Xue’s pitiful look instantly changed. She gradually let out a cold smile on her face. She used her index finger to casually wipe off the tears in her eyes.

Duanmu Zhe was right in saying that her reacting in this way would serve no purpose but as a laughing stock to others. No matter how many things she had smashed and how hard she had cried, Ye Moxuan would never fall for her.

To deal with a man as indifferent as Ye Moxuan, it seemed like… she could no longer use her old tricks. She still believed in destiny; since God had given her another opportunity, she would never let go of it.

Ye Moxuan… I won’t let you get away with this. Even if you don’t love me, I will never forget how you rejected me. I will make you get down on your knees to beg me to marry you. Duanmu Xue’s smile turned eerie after she had made up her mind about this.

The maids who were hiding beside felt a chill after seeing this. They looked at each other and whispered, “Is Miss Xue alright? That smile was scary.”

“Who knows? Miss Xue has never been treated badly growing up. The rejection she had this time might be too much for her. What a pity…”

“I sure hope that Miss Xue can recover from this soon. If she continues to act this way, I reckon we’d get injured a lot in the coming days…”

“Let’s hope for the best…”

On the other side, when it was time to get off work, Han Muzi was seen sending documents around in the office. Because of what Ye Moxuan told her, she would never linger in his office; instead, she would leave right away after putting the documents on the desk.

At this point, Ye Moxuan unexpectedly looked up and saw her from behind. He then said, “Please wait for me after work.”

Han Muzi stopped walking and turned around, uncertain about what he meant. “Huh?”

Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and squinted at her. “You’re unwilling?”

Han Muzi responded, “That’s not what I meant… I’ll go now.” Otherwise, he’ll accuse me of seducing him again.

“Okay.”

Ye Moxuan proceeded to look through the documents after Han Muzi had left. What no one noticed was that he had a gentle smile on his face.

Very soon, it was time to get off work. Han Muzi packed up and as she was walking out of the secretary’s office, she slowed down and stared in the direction of Ye Moxuan’s office.

Although Ye Moxuan told her earlier to wait for him after work, he never specified what exactly he was expecting her to do. Was she supposed to wait in the office and then leave together with him? Or wait like how they did before?

After some thought, Han Muzi felt the latter would be more sensible. Even though her relationship with Ye Moxuan had taken a step forward, the two of them had never really talked about their feelings for each other.

Given Ye Moxuan’s position in the company right now, there would surely be gossip going around if they were to leave the office together. Eventually, it would reach his grandfather.

The thought of this made Han Muzi decide to stick to what they did before. She took the elevator and walked toward the entrance. As she was waiting for Ye Moxuan, she walked slowly—as if she was taking a stroll.

As expected, shortly after that, Ye Moxuan came up to her in his car. Before he even had the chance to roll down the window, Han Muzi had turned around and walked to the other side of the car in excitement and opened the door for herself.

When she was putting her seatbelt on, she heard him question in his cold voice, “Didn’t I ask you to wait for me?”

Han Muzi slowed down in putting on her seatbelt after hearing those words. She looked up at his black pupils and noticed he had an unpleasant look on him.

She was confused. “I did wait for you. Didn’t you realize I was walking slowly?”

Ye Moxuan frowned, still looking unimpressed.

Han Muzi did not know what else to say. She could not understand him as she had purposely slowed down her pace to wait for him. Why is he still unhappy? She thought about it and responded, “Y-You were not expecting me to wait in the office so we could leave together, were you?”

He pursed his lips flat and remained silent. The answer was obvious.

Han Muzi was speechless. She put her hands down after putting on the seatbelt and began to look away.

“I can’t do that. I can’t be seen leaving the office together with you.”

These words annoyed Ye Moxuan even more. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid of being seen with me?”

Han Muzi admitted it by nodding her head. She was indeed afraid of being seen together with Ye Moxuan as she would not have the ability to deal with all the gossip that would inevitably arise.

Seeing how she admitted it without any hesitation, Ye Moxuan frowned even deeper. The cold aura around him was almost tangible. “Are you that afraid that others might find out about us? Am I an embarrassment to you? Huh?”

The reason Han Muzi did not want to be with him was due to her concern that his grandfather would eventually find out, which would land her in big trouble. This was the only reason.

After noticing that Ye Moxuan was annoyed, she realized that she might have said something wrong. She then quickly added, “No. It’s not what you think it is. I’m just…”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 823

Sh*t. How can I explain this? Should she directly tell him, the man who was currently suffering from amnesia, that his grandfather might not approve of them being together and they should keep a low profile? Ye Moxuan might think she was crazy.

After thinking about it, she could only reply pitifully, “I’ve only joined the company for a few days and I’ve already gotten this close to you. I can imagine how others will talk about me when they see it.”

However, Ye Moxuan had already assumed that she did not want others to see them together. Although he was feeling a little annoyed, he did not respond after he heard those words. All the while, he still had a cold look on his face.

Han Muzi could only stretch her hand over and pull his sleeve. “Do you want others to gossip about me?”

Ye Moxuan looked at her tender, white hand while driving. That hand was so small that he could wrap it with his palm. Thinking of this, his cold heart softened a bit. The look in his eyes was not as cold as before and showed a trace of emotion.

There were not many people on this part of the road. He held the steering wheel with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other. Her fair, little, soft hand was wrapped in his big palm. Ye Moxuan held her hand while looking ahead. “Anyone who dares to talk bad about you would be messing with me. How many people in the whole company would dare to mess with me?

Han Muzi was speechless. There was probably no one. Who would want to mess with their own superior? Wouldn’t they be getting themselves in trouble? Han Muzi’s heart was warmed by his words as she never thought he would say something like this. She laughed and said, “They won’t mess with you in front of you, but they can still say it behind your back.”

One could stop all the armies and bullets in the world, but they could not stop rumors. Besides, rumors were more damaging than the other two. Sure enough, Ye Moxuan frowned again after listening to her. His lower jaw tightened as he pursed his lips.

“I was just simply talking. Don’t take it to heart. What other people say has nothing to do with me. I don’t even care about the rumors.” She only cared about him. However, she could not tell him that his grandfather might try to stop them from getting together and that was why she could not let his grandfather know.

Ugh. Although Han Muzi said that she did not mind it, her words still flowed through his blood and reached his heart. Ye Moxuan remembered these words clearly.

Ye Moxuan sent her home and recalled that Yuchi Jin asked him to go home early today as he had something to tell him. Just then, Han Muzi said, “Let’s go to the supermarket to buy some groceries. There’s almost nothing in the refrigerator at home.”

At home? Ye Moxuan looked at her thoughtfully. “Okay.”

After getting out of the car, the two went upstairs together. It was a coincidence that the landlady came out for a walk with the dog at this time, so when they went upstairs, they ran into her again.

Han Muzi sighed in her heart. The landlady has impeccable timing. It was such a coincidence for them to meet. Each time before the landlady walked out of the gate, they would surely either meet on the stairs or when she was approaching the gate. “Muzi, you’ve brought your boyfriend back again! You two have such a good relationship.”

The landlady took another look at Ye Moxuan after she greeted Han Muzi enthusiastically. This woman is so lucky to be beautiful and have an equally good-looking partner.

Han Muzi twitched the corners of her lips awkwardly. When she was about to say something, she felt her waist being hugged by someone. Then, she saw Ye Moxuan nod to the landlady to stop her. Why is he stopping the landlady?

“Excuse me, are there other suites here?” His tone was neutral, and one could not decipher the emotions in it.

The landlady was stunned for a moment as they were not simply greeting each other. She stopped and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with that apartment?”

Han Muzi was confused as well as she did not expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly greet the landlady and ask her a question.

Ye Moxuan nodded while he pursed his lips. “Yes. Are there any left?”

Seeing him not stating the reason, the landlady was a little puzzled but still replied truthfully, “No. When Muzi came here, this was the last apartment. I saw that she was abroad alone, so I rented it to her for a cheap price. Why? Is there something wrong with the place?”

Ye Moxuan frowned and did not explain to her further. Han Muzi could only quickly reply, “There’s no problem. I’m just asking for a friend who wants to rent a house. Excuse us. We’re all fine now.” After saying that, she smiled awkwardly and grabbed Ye Moxuan’s hand before going upstairs.

After the landlady left, Han Muzi took out the key to open the door and asked, “Why did you suddenly ask the landlady such a question? I think this place is fine…” She changed into her indoor slippers when she entered the place.

“Fine?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes after hearing it. “Don’t you want to stay somewhere else?”

Han Muzi straightened her body and turned to look at him when she heard him. “Stay somewhere else? Why?” After asking, she suddenly had a thought in her heart. Did he want her to stay with him? That can’t be right… If it was about staying together, he would not have asked the landlady if there were any vacant suites left.

Seeing her looking at him with a confused look, Ye Moxuan’s gaze dropped slightly. He suddenly approached her by stepping forward to hold her waist and lowering his head. “Don’t you want me to accompany you to listen to the orchestra every time I visit you?”

Listen to the orchestra? Han Muzi was confused initially. What did he mean by listening to the orchestra? Then, she suddenly reacted after seeing the extinguishing light under his eyes as if they were hiding a certain unknown emotion. He meant the noise from the couple next door.

Han Muzi did not say anything. She had almost forgotten about it, and she did not expect him to remember that. Her face and ears reddened suddenly. Their eyes met for a moment and she did not know what was running through her thoughts. She suddenly replied without thinking much, “You’re… not staying here. Even if you want to listen to it, you’ll have to wait till after 10pm. Moreover, it’s not every night that you can…” She paused immediately after sensing something. She almost bit her tongue off looking at Ye Moxuan who was close to her.

My God. What was I even talking about?! She quickly covered her face.

The diminishing light under Ye Moxuan’s eyes suddenly extinguished as he slowly moved his hand which was hugging her waist and said with a dangerous tone, “After 10pm?”

Han Muzi remained silent.

“It looks like you’ve been paying attention.”

“I…”

“Yes?” Ye Moxuan moved forward a few inches, and the distance between the two of them narrowed again. They were so close that Han Muzi could see the fine hairs on his skin.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 824

What else could she say? It was unavoidable that she heard it. After all, the soundproofing here was not very good. Even if she did not listen in, the sound waves would sometimes travel over. It was not like she could stuff her ears with her fingers.

She was annoyed about it initially, but after thinking about it, wasn’t this just how adults were? It was quite common, and it was indeed not easy for a young couple to rent a house. That was why she did not go to the landlady to complain about them and went to bed early every night.

However, now that she had said it to Ye Moxuan after being teased by him, she felt as if she had tossed her dignity into the Pacific Ocean.

Ye Moxuan threw another bomb at her amid her embarrassment and said lightly, “Besides, who said I wouldn’t be staying here?”

Han Muzi was so surprised that her pretty eyes widened.

He lifted his hand and grabbed her chin while placing his finger on her lips. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his ink-black eyes. “Did you put on lipstick again?”

Han Muzi nodded with a guilty conscience. The wound on her lips would be too obvious if she did not put on lipstick, so she had no choice. He remained silent while focusing on her lips. Then, he patiently removed the color on her lips bit by bit with his fingertip.

Soon, Han Muzi saw his thumb turn red. She moved her lips, trying to say something, but he suddenly leaned over and kissed her gently while pressing her against the door.

Han Muzi blinked her eyes nervously. She had already gotten nervous when he made his move just now. She thought he might wipe off her lipstick but… she never thought it would actually happen! After kissing for a while, Han Muzi came back to her senses and pushed him away while panting lightly. “T-The door is still open.”

Ye Moxuan raised his hand to close the door expressionlessly, then he held the back of her head and pressed against her forehead. “Why don’t I have my own pair of indoor slippers after all this time?”

Han Muzi blinked her long eyelashes like two little fans. She said in a daze, “Y-You didn’t say you wanted…”

After hearing that, he narrowed his eyes. “Your answer doesn’t measure up.”

“Huh?” Before Han Muzi could give any reaction, she was pushed to the wall and kissed again.

…

Han Muzi only got back to her senses when he leaned over to fasten her seat belt after he brought her out and got into the car. Just now… What happened earlier?

Well, they seemed to be discussing his lack of a pair of indoor slippers. Then, he kissed her for a long time. He had placed his arms around her neck and coaxed her to move out as it was not only too dark at night, but the place was also unsafe. Furthermore, he could not stand the couple staying beside her the most as he felt they were a bad influence on her.

Naturally, Han Muzi would not want to agree to it as it would be troublesome to move again. She did not know what happened next, but they had suddenly come out after she was kissed by him. The two were now going to the supermarket to shop.

After coming out of the supermarket, it was already dark. Ye Moxuan put everything in the trunk. When they were walking to the car, he did not let her carry any heavy items. He was like a conscientious boyfriend, carrying all the things for her while she only needed to hold onto him.

After dinner, Han Muzi tidied up and went to wash the dishes, but she was thinking hard about something. The time she spent with Ye Moxuan was not too long, nor was it considered short. During this period, it was quite tortuous for Han Muzi who wanted him to quickly recover his memory. Other than the first instance of intimacy they shared, he did not seem to have any special reactions afterward.

Han Muzi did not feel like washing the dishes after thinking about it, so she washed her hands and turned to leave. When she walked out, she saw that he was not in the living room. Instead, he was at the balcony, and voices could be heard as they drifted along with the wind.

“I’ll be back late. I understand.” After talking, he hung up the phone. Following that, he leaned against the balcony while lighting up a cigarette. The flame was flickering in the dark balcony. After lighting it up, he did not take a puff straight away but just let it burn.

His grandfather seemed to be insistent that he got with Duanmu Xue no matter what. The butler told him on the phone just now that his grandfather threw a tantrum and almost passed out, but he had already been sent back to the room. The doctor was there, so he was all right. However, he would never be engaged with Duanmu Xue. As for how he should convince Grandpa…

Ye Moxuan, who was still standing while deep in thought, suddenly moved and turned his head to look toward the kitchen, whereupon he met Han Muzi’s eyes.

Seeing her, Ye Moxuan moved quickly. He immediately put out the cigarette and walked in.

She merely watched him walk toward her without saying anything. He suddenly reached out and hugged her. She was afraid that she would fall, so her hand reflexively hugged his neck. He then carried her to the sofa and seated her there.

Blinking, she asked, “Just now… was it your family calling?”

Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and did not speak. He lowered his head and leaned over to her lips.

Both of them just had a meal and Han Muzi had not rinsed her mouth yet. If they kissed now…

Han Muzi moved her head after she thought about it. The pair of slightly cold and dry thin lips ended up getting pressed against her cheeks instead. He was stunned for a moment and reached out to grab her chin before asking hoarsely, “Why are you evading?”

She would not tell him the reason directly. As such, she just pushed him aside and asked, “Your family… Are they rushing you to go back?” After she said that, Ye Moxuan did not make any further moves.

As a result, she started to doubt herself. Did I say something wrong? She turned her head over and Ye Moxuan kissed her unexpectedly, but his thin lips did not stay on hers for long. He immediately moved away after the kiss and said, “Follow me to meet my grandfather, okay?

Han Muzi was speechless and confused. Her brain was shutting down. What did Ye Moxuan say just now? Follow him to meet his grandfather? Did I hear wrongly? It sounded like they had just confirmed their relationship. No way! They had not even talked about the matter of them being a couple yet, but he wanted to bring her to meet his grandfather?

Han Muzi was puzzled by this, but she was also touched at the same time. Although he had proudly stated that she was the one who confessed first, his current behavior showed that he cared about her much more than she thought.

“So?” Seeing her stunned, Ye Moxuan asked again.

Han Muzi began to say, “I…” She could not meet his grandfather now as it did not seem like his memories had been triggered. It would be too impulsive for her to go at this time.

Han Muzi bit her lower lip embarrassedly while her expression was full of distress. Ye Moxuan looked at her for a long while before his eyes suddenly sank. “Is it too fast?”

Since their conversation had reached this point, she wanted to take the opportunity to ask. She simply reached out and put her arms around his neck. “Is our relationship confirmed? Do you want me to meet your grandfather so soon?”

Ye Moxuan looked at her, his eyes narrowing. “Is it not? When we were downstairs just now, the landlady—”

“Then I have something to ask you. Do you have any feelings when you kiss me?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 825

This question… Ye Moxuan squinted to stare at the woman who was right in front of him. This question seemed to be aimed at changing the atmosphere, but she had a serious look on her face, one that was void of affections and desires. Why?

Ye Moxuan took another look at her eyes to find out more. “What feelings?” His voice was deep and his hands were holding her by her head.

Han Muzi had not noticed the affectionate look under his eyes as she was focused on getting his memory back. She asked, somewhat in despair, “Do you have to ask me that? Can’t you tell whether or not you have a special feeling?”

A special feeling? Ye Moxuan tried to recall something. The first time he kissed her, it indeed felt like some fragments of memories were crossing his mind. Before he could capture them, they were already gone. It was so quick that he could not even see them. That was the only time that it happened. Ever since then, he had never encountered that again.

At this point, Ye Moxuan pursed his lips. “If that counts as a special feeling, then the answer is yes.” Of course, there were things that he did not say, just so that he would not scare off this woman who had a serious look on her.

To be frank, when he was kissing her, he had a strong desire… He wanted more; he wanted to completely take her in.

“What kind of special feeling?” Han Muzi’s eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed Ye Moxuan by his collar. “Please, tell me.”

Seeing how excited she got, Ye Moxuan calmed down slightly. He gently leaned forward and whispered something in her ear.

Han Muzi was smiling until she heard what Ye Moxuan said. The smile on her face froze before her face turned red. She looked at him, feeling flustered. “I-I’m not asking you to talk about that…”

Ye Moxuan responded with a deep voice, “What then?”

Han Muzi was too embarrassed to say anything. She stared at him for a while and decided to give up on asking him any more questions. If he had a feeling, he would be coming to her and asking her about it—there would be no need for her to ask him. However, she was worried because their recent intimacy did not seem to help him get his memory back. What else can I do?

As far as Han Muzi could remember, Ye Moxuan seemed to only value his mother, Song An, herself, and Little Bean.

Ye Moxuan’s phone rang right in the middle of her thoughts. He took a look at it and put it on silent mode.

Han Muzi pursed his lips. “Is your family asking you to go back? Then you should go back as soon as possible.”

Ye Moxuan put his phone away and rested his gaze on her face. “Are you not gonna ask me to stay?”

Han Muzi looked up, “How am I supposed to do that? Isn’t your family…”

“As long as you want me to, I can stay here tonight.”

No. She did not want him to. He had only been around for a while and his family had already asked him to go home. How would the Yuchi family react if he were to stay the night? By then, before Song An could even contact him, Old Master Yuchi would’ve lost it already.

Han Muzi tried to persuade him, “You should go home soon. We haven’t been together for very long, so we can take it slowly and see what happens next. And you… should also keep this thing about us to yourself for now.”

He did expect her to avoid him, just not to this extent. In the end, he had to respect her decision. “Okay.”

Han Muzi then sent him out the door before another call could come in and watched him leave in his car. She stood in the hallway and watched his car going further and further away. Suddenly, a female voice came from behind. “The guy who just left—is he your boyfriend?”

Han Muzi turned around and saw the lady next door. She was smiling and making conversation with her.

Han Muzi was stunned for a moment and nodded her head.

“Your boyfriend is really good-looking, and he drives an expensive car too.” The lady tilted her head and curiously looked at Han Muzi. “Since he’s so rich, why do you still have to live here? Can’t you ask him to buy you a house and move there?”

Han Muzi responded, “I like it here, and I am only dating him right now. I don’t need him to buy a house for me.” After all, if a man bought a woman everything while they were seeing each other, it’d prove that he was a good catch and would go all out for the woman. At the same time, it’d also be a heavy burden, because if he had already given everything to you, what was there left for you to give back to him?

The lady had a strange look on her. She commented, “You’re so strange. What’s wrong with asking him to buy you a house while you two are dating? I feel that, if he’s rich and not willing to spend on you, then I would feel sorry for you—”

Han Muzi interrupted her, “You rent this place with your boyfriend and you guys get off work late; do you feel sorry for yourself then?”

The lady was taken aback. She began looking slightly embarrassed and shook her head. “No… I don’t.” On the contrary, she felt happy. Because she loved him, and she was willing to go through whatever kind of life with him.

Han Muzi smiled. “That’s right. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, why would you feel sorry for me?”

The lady stuck her tongue out. “My apologies. I didn’t mean what I said. Please don’t mind me.”

Han Muzi nodded and kept quiet. After a while, a guy was calling for the woman from the apartment, so she bade goodbye to Han Muzi and left.

After going back inside, Han Muzi received a call from Yan. “Hello?”

“Muzi! Muzi! I miss you so much!” Yan had a penetratingly loud voice, so Han Muzi quickly moved her phone slightly away from her until the voice in the phone had calmed down.

“Come on. Did you move your phone away again so you didn’t have to hear my voice? You’re heartless.”

Han Muzi responded, “Yan, can you be a little more serious?”

Yan snorted and turned serious the next second. “Secretary Su had found something about Aunty Song. Would you like to know what she found?”

“How did she find her that quickly?” Han Muzi was startled. Su Jiu was a lot more efficient than she thought. She continued, “Please, tell me. What about Aunty Song?”

“Didn’t you ask Su Jiu to tell Aunty Song everything that happened? So, after she told her, Aunty Song said that she needed time to calm down before giving us an answer.”

To calm down? Han Muzi was not surprised by this. After all, there must be some important reasons and inside information as to why Song An and Song Xin left the Yuchi family for so many years and never wanted to return. She would definitely need some time to digest what was being told to her all of a sudden so that she could collect her thoughts. “Alright, I understand.”

“What is it that you understand? What’s going on right now? Why are you involving his aunt? What happened?” Yan did not know what happened here.

Han Muzi didn’t want her to worry, so she decided not to tell her about how news about her wedding with Ye Moxuan was erased from foreign media sources.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 826

“Don’t worry. There’s nothing out of the ordinary happening on my side. You just have to take good care of Little Bean and yourself.”

Yan mumbled before she could stop herself, “You are obviously lying through your teeth. Why would you suddenly look for Song An if nothing’s wrong?”

“I’m merely looking for her because she is Moxuan’s family. I just want her to stimulate his memory. That’s all.”

Yan wasn’t very convinced with what she said. “Are you sure? Is that the only reason?”

Han Muzi sighed. “I am left with no choice. Do you have a better idea?”

Yan hesitated before answering truthfully, “No.”

The two of them chatted for a while, but Yan couldn’t help herself. “The New Year is just around the corner. Aren’t you coming home to celebrate with Little Bean and spend some time with us?”

Han Muzi was slightly moved when she heard that. I would love to go home. What kind of mother on earth wouldn’t miss her own child? However… I’m not sure if there might be any new development in the current situation. Nevertheless, Yan was persistent with her questioning, and so Han Muzi reassured her, “I’ll decide when the time comes. If it’s possible, I will return home for Chinese New Year.”

In the past, Han Muzi always rejected Yan straight away, but she was now stating a different opinion. Thus, Yan suddenly felt as if the situation at Han Muzi’s side might be better than she imagined. In that case, wouldn’t it be great if I can take Little Bean along to visit her during Chinese New Year?

Yan replied happily at that thought, “In that case, Little Bean, your brother, and I will all wait for some good news from you.”

“Mm-hmm.”

At the Yuchi residence.

“Where were you?” Yuchi Jin barked coldly once Ye Moxuan entered the house. He instructed the servants in the living room to leave the moment Ye Moxuan arrived home, whereas Yuchi Jin was sitting alone on the couch.

Ye Moxuan paused, and he recalled the scene where he was with Han Muzi. Then, he recalled the information and description he was given about Yuchi Jin over the phone call. It seems like it was all a lie. Ye Moxuan pursed his lips before making his way to the old man with heavy steps. “Grandpa.”

Yuchi Jin smirked at him. “Do you still think of me as your grandfather?”

Ye Moxuan pressed his lips together in a thin line, but he remained silent.

“Where were you? I thought you were working overtime in the company for the past few days. However, I found out today that you have been leaving work on time. You weren’t staying late in the company at all.”

Ye Moxuan looked up at him. “I am an adult. I should have my own life even if I’m not staying back in the company to work overtime. Are you saying that I should only stay at home if I’m not in the company?”

Yuchi Jin paused before snorting in disdain. “What is wrong with staying at home? I am getting old. Don’t you want to spend more time with me?”

In all honesty, I don’t have much affection for this grandfather of mine. The only thing I know is that he claimed to be my grandfather when I woke up. He fed me with some memories of my past, and I just went along and believed him. However, I don’t feel close to him at all. I just want to run as far away as possible, especially when he tried to control me by forcing my engagement with Duanmu Xue.

“Forget it. I can understand that youngsters like you wouldn’t want to accompany old folks like me. However, Xue is such a good girl. She is the apple of the eye of the Duanmu family. How could you reject her?”

Ye Moxuan’s expression turned frosty at the mention of Duanmu Xue. “In that case, do you think I should lead her on despite having no interest in her, Grandfather?” he asked icily.

Yuchi Jin shook with fury. “You are such a brat. Can’t you speak respectfully? Keep your mouth shut if you can’t!”

Ye Moxuan remained silent at that.

“What do you mean by leading her on? You are not interested in her because you haven’t realized what a good girl she is. Does Xue have any shortcomings? She is pretty and she’s multilingual. In fact, with her professional standing, being with her would only aid your career in the future.”

Ye Moxuan did not respond.

“Shouldn’t you say something?”

Ye Moxuan responded coldly, “Grandpa, didn’t you tell me to shut up?”

Yuchi Jin almost lost his temper, and he placed a hand over his chest. “You are a brat! I suppose you will only be satisfied after I die of anger,” he scolded while sounding out of breath. In fact, he looked as if he was in terrible pain.

Ye Moxuan felt helpless as he massaged his throbbing temples. “The housekeeper mentioned over the phone that you returned to your room. Why are you here now?”

Upon hearing that, Yuchi Jin realized with a start that he had exposed his own lies, and so he straightened up immediately. “What, now? Would you have come home if I hadn’t said that?”

Ye Moxuan stated firmly, “Grandfather, I will not get engaged with Duanmu Xue.”

“What did you just say? I’ve arranged the best marriage there is for you. Just look around you, and you’ll realize that Duanmu Xue’s background and social standing best suits you. Are you planning to be alone for the rest of your life if you don’t get married to her?”

Be alone for the rest of my life? No. Ye Moxuan thought of Han Muzi, and the hostility across his face softened significantly. “In short, I will not get engaged with her no matter how many times you try to convince me, Grandpa. Besides, I don’t need to rely on a woman for my career. If you think that I need to rely on a woman to strengthen my career, you should… seek for a new heir, Grandfather.” I’m just not interested in wealth and riches.

Yuchi Jin was stunned to silence, and his eyes bulged in disbelief while he stared at Ye Moxuan unblinkingly. Ye Moxuan had a blank expression when he made that statement, and Yuchi Jin felt as if he was staring at a figure of another person.

That figure was petite, and although her shoulders were thin and narrow, she held her back straight with pride. Her voice was soft but forceful. “I will not get engaged with that man. I don’t care how many times you try to convince me. I will not get engaged since I’ve decided. I don’t even love him; why would I get engaged with him? Father, I’d rather die in front of you right now than for you to force me to marry a man I do not love.”

At that time, Yuchi Jin was so angry at what she said that tears started brimming in his eyes. She is my daughter after all. How dare she mention the word ‘die’ in front of me, her own father! This is so frustrating!

“You are such a silly child. Would I ever harm you? I’m asking you to get engaged with him for the sake of your future. You do not have any male siblings, and so the Yuchi family will be yours in the future!”

“I don’t want it even if you leave me the entire Yuchi family’s inheritance if I’m not allowed to be with the person I love. Besides, I am able to fend for myself. Why should I rely on someone else?” All those years ago, Ye Moxuan’s mother, who was also Yuchi Jin’s daughter, Yuchi Xin, said that directly to him.

Who would have guessed that, after so many years, her son would have her exact temper? What sins have I committed in my past life for me to deserve this?

Thinking of Yuchi Xin made Yuchi Jin appear much older all of a sudden. Sometimes, I feel as though I should just let the child do as he wishes. I’m so old after all, and I can’t control so much anyway. However, I figured that, since I’m getting old, it is all the more reason I can’t let them keep going like this because I barely have a few years left in me. I have always regretted my choice for not stopping Yuchi Xin. Otherwise… my precious daughter wouldn’t have ended up dead.

When he was reminded of that, Yuchi Jin became even more determined not to allow Ye Moxuan to act in his willful and stubborn ways.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 827

“You are my grandson. I will not seek another heir aside from you. It doesn’t matter whether or not you agree to Duanmu Xue, but the engagement will happen.”

Recalling his daughter, who broke his heart, Yuchi Jin was even more determined about his decision.

I must never lose another family member.

Ye Moxuan scowled deeply upon hearing the stubbornness in Yuchi Jin’s tone. “Grandfather, don’t force me.”

Yuchi Jin stood up before snorting loudly in disdain.

“Am I forcing you? From where I stand, you are the one forcing me! Xue is such a good girl. You might not like her now, but you will fall for her eventually.”

After speaking his mind, Yuchi Jin placed his hands behind his back while announcing loudly without waiting for a reply from Ye Moxuan, “I’ve decided on this matter. Your opinions will not change my mind.”

With that, he went upstairs, leaving Ye Moxuan all alone. I almost blurted out things about Han Muzi, but it doesn’t seem right.

Grandfather is dead-set on the engagement between Duanmu Xue and me. Wouldn’t I cause trouble for Muzi if I were to claim that I am in love with someone else right now?

Ye Moxuan’s gaze darkened when he considered the possibility.

Yuchi Jin went upstairs into his study. The more he thought about it, the more he felt as though something wasn’t quite right because Ye Moxuan might have his opinions, but he shouldn’t have resisted him so vehemently.

Besides, that girl, Duanmu Xue, has been looking after him all along previously. Hence, even if he is not in love with her, it wouldn’t be possible for him not to have feelings for her at all. Yuchin Jin suddenly felt uneasy when he thought about the things he instructed his subordinates to erase.

Could it be that he is unwilling to accept my arrangements after realizing what I’ve done?

However, he doesn’t seem to be acting in that way.

Hold on a second!

Yuchi Jin recalled something important suddenly.

Ye Moxuan used to return home early previously because he would reject all the entertainment activities, unlike George. However, recently, he has been staying out longer these days. In fact, he wouldn’t return home for dinner for several days consecutively. There was even once when he returned home at almost midnight.

Yuchi Jin’s expression grew somber the more he thought about it.

He then took his phone out to call George.

George was having a drink with his close friend at that moment; in fact, he had a beautiful woman clinging onto him on each side. At first, he ignored his vibrating phone in his pocket. In the end, one of the pretty women took his phone out to check.

George’s carefree expression changed into a serious one immediately when he saw the display across his phone screen. He released his arm around the woman’s waist before taking his phone away from her.

“I need to take this outside.”

The two women saw the ID as ‘Grandfather Yuchi’, but they did not comment further. They merely looked at him while he left the private room with his cell phone.

George rushed to a quiet place before answering the phone call. He was careful with his movements, as if afraid the caller might hear something.

“Grandfather Yuchi?”

George greeted him tentatively over the phone after accepting the call.

“Mm-hmm,” Yuchi Jin answered gravely from the other end of the line, and his tone sounded rather serious.

George was astounded when he heard that, and he immediately thought of the possibilities under such circumstances. Grandfather Yuchi wouldn’t usually phone me because we don’t have anything to talk about after all.

It must be something related to Yuchi Shen if he’s calling me at this hour; there isn’t any other explanation.

Yuchi Jin might be Yuchi Shen’s grandfather, but the older generation has a completely different mindset. I can’t even begin to imagine what this phone call is about.

“Grandfather Yuchi, can I help you with something since you’re calling me at this hour?” he asked jokingly, making him sound rather flippant.

Yuchi Jin still sounded somber, and his tone was forceful. “George, you are always with Xuan, and so you must know about his habits. That is why I want to ask you what he has been up to recently.”

George was stunned to silence when he heard that question, but he immediately thought of the issue of Yuchi Jin insisting on the engagement between Yuchi Shen and Duanmu Xue. However, Yuchi Shen did not agree to it, and Grandfather Yuchi lost his cool over that matter.

The situation can’t be that simple for Grandfather Yuchi to phone me out of the blue today to ask this. There must be some hidden meaning to this.

Grandfather Yuchi wants Yuchi Shen and Duanmu Xuan to end up together.

However, Yuchi Shen is now with Muzi.

If Grandfather Yuchi were to find out about this, he would most probably break the couple up.

When he came to that conclusion, George suddenly felt as though his phone was as heavy as lead.

It looks like I have to answer this question well. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble to Muzi and Yuchi Shen.

George went through his options quickly while trying to figure out the best thing to say. Then, he answered smilingly, “Grandfather Yuchi, it’s all my fault. Recently, I’ve been dragging him to the bar. Hehe, it’s so boring to fool around alone, Grandfather Yuchi. I won’t feel so lonely with Xuan around.”

He said that in a flippant tone.

True enough, Yuchi Jin lost his temper when he heard that, and he started scolding him furiously, “You useless brat! It’s fine if you want to act indecently! Why do you have to drag Xuan into your nonsense? He is not like you, who only knows how to drink and fool around with women!”

George continued jokingly, “Grandfather Yuchi, you shouldn’t be so angry. What is wrong for a man to drink and fool around with women freely? He’s usually so uptight at work; in fact, he always has on such a severe expression, as if he is void of emotions. It’s a good thing that I’m available to take him out to relax, Grandfather Yuchi.”

“George, I’m forbidding you to do this in the future. Xuan has to take over the entire Yuchi Group in the future. Right now, you are doing him more harm than good.”

“Sigh, but I disagree, Grandfather Yuchi. Besides, it’s too boring for me to fool around alone.”

“Such nonsense! You are not allowed to drag him out for such things in the future. He is not allowed to fool around with those indecent people as well. George, you are not getting any younger. You should change for the better, and please don’t make me worried about you.”

“Am I not doing better? I’ve been learning plenty of good things, Grandfather Yuchi. Why don’t I take you along to experience it? You just don’t know that these women’s body are—“

Yuchi Jin hung up, and George was left with nothing but the busy tone over the line. He was stunned for a few seconds, but he broke into an evil grin.

Luckily, I, The Great George, responded right in time. Otherwise, the matter involving Yuchi Shen and Muzi would have been exposed tonight. By then, the two would have been ripped apart when they just got together. As a mediator, I would be upset.

However… I said such inappropriate things to Grandfather Yuchi just now, and if he were to expose me to father, it would be troublesome for me. Sob…

George sent Han Muzi a message via WeChat on his phone.

Little Georgie: ‘Muzi, I need some comforting, sob… I helped you and Yuchi Shen with something huge earlier, but I’m shitting my pants now, sob… I want fish soup, please.’

After sending a message to Han Muzi, George sent a WeChat message to Yuchi Shen as well. However, his tone and expression were much more serious toward Yuchi Shen; in fact, he sent a direct voice message to him.

Little Georgie: ‘Grandfather Yuchi phoned me to find out what you have been up to recently. I covered you, but I can’t help you much later on. You should be more careful and protect Muzi well.’

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 828

Han Muzi was preparing for bed after her shower, but her phone vibrated, and so she checked her phone. She frowned after reading the message.

He helped me with something huge. What was he referring to?

Besides, he said that it was something he did for Ye Moxuan and me?

Han Muzi processed the information swiftly by connecting the dots of what happened recently before replying immediately.

Han Muzi: ‘Is this huge thing you’re referring to related to Yuchi’s grandfather?’

Little Georgie: ‘Damn it! Muzi, you are too smart! How did you even guess that?’

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his reply. So I was right.

Han Muzi’s expression turned somber. Has Old Master Yuchi realized that something isn’t quite right? That should be expected, since Ye Moxuan has been coming over for dinner on a daily basis. In fact, he wouldn’t even return home when his family urged him via phone.

Furthermore, he rejected the engagement, and so the Yuchi family would no doubt be suspicious of him.

George sent her another message when she was still deep in thought.

Little Georgie: ‘Muzi, in any case, I covered for him this time. However, I don’t think I’d be much help in the future. You and Yuchi have to be more careful. I’m not trying to intimidate you, but this is what you get if you have a relationship with someone from a wealthy family.’

Han Muzi understood what he was trying to convey in the last part of his message. He must be afraid that this would scare me off.

Han Muzi smiled faintly at that thought.

Han Muzi: ‘Thank you. No matter what happens, I will not retreat so easily.’

Little Georgie: ‘Oh, my. That is so touching. Muzi, you are so strong. Why do I have a feeling that… your feelings for Yuchi run deep? The two of you just got to know each other after all.’

George rubbed his chin when he mentioned that.

He suddenly recalled the first time he saw Han Muzi in the elevator. She was hiding behind the crowd, and she didn’t dare look at Yuchi Shen. In the end, she even dashed out of the elevator doors.

However, the gaze she had for Yuchi Shen was filled with love and emotions, without any confusion or mixed feelings.

Sometimes, I even wonder if Muzi knew Yuchi Shen from before.

George’s interest was piqued after taking that into consideration, and so he sent her a message.

Little Georgie: ‘Muzi, were you lovers with Yuchi previously?’

Han Muzi’s fingers trembled when she read the message, and her phone landed on her face. She almost cried out in pain, but her heart was still hammering against her chest.

She picked her phone up before re-reading George’s message while trying to come up with a reply.

This man is very smart. How did he notice that? I’m not even sure if I should just tell him the truth or continue to keep this secret from him.

Just when Han Muzi was hesitating, her phone rang again.

Little Georgie: ‘Muzi, I’m just asking randomly, and I do not have any ill intentions. After all, Yuchi hasn’t been around here all this while. He appeared out of nowhere without warning. It means that he has a past. However, I’m not sure who was in that part of his life. However, I realized that Yuchi looked at you differently when you first met, and that is why I guessed that you might have known him from before.’

Han Muzi pursed her lips into a thin line when she read that. George is not a bad person; in fact, he has been helping me a lot from the very beginning. Furthermore, the situation is rather complicated now.

Maybe it’s fine… if he knows the truth.

Han Muzi typed slowly on her phone.

Han Muzi: ‘George, you are very smart.’

In all honesty, George was just asking Han Muzi randomly. Just when he was about to leave with his phone since Yuchi Shen had yet to reply to his message, he was so shocked that he almost tripped and fell when he read Han Muzi’s message.

What?!

George’s eyes shot wide open in shock while staring at Han Muzi’s message across his phone. ‘George, you are very smart.’

Did I guess correctly?

Were Muzi and Yuchi both lovers previously??

Oh, my god!!

George felt as if his world was spinning out of control. Muzi and Yuchi were lovers previously. I suddenly feel as if I’ve missed out on a lot of things.

No wonder Yuchi, who has always ignored women in general, treats her so differently.

George started tapping away on his phone like a maniac.

Little Georgie: ‘Damn it, was I right? Were you and Yuchi lovers previously? In that case, how did the both of you end up together in the past? Why did so many things happen after that? How did you find him?’

Han Muzi could imagine vividly the scene with George losing his mind when she saw him bombarding her with questions. Hence, she replied to him. ‘It’s quite late today. Let’s fix a time, and I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow.’

Little Georgie: ‘Sure, sure! Muzi, I’ll meet you at the company tomorrow in the afternoon.’

Han Muzi: ‘Okay.’

After the two of them agreed on that, Han Muzi switched her phone off before going to bed.

Just when George was about to head back, Yuchi Shen replied to his message with a simple sentence.

‘Got it. Thank you.’

Tsk! George smiled, and he was about to send a message to tease Yuchi Shen, but he stopped himself.

I just discovered a huge secret out of the blue after all, hehe.

…

The next day, once Han Muzi was done with work, she bumped into George, who was guarding the entrance of the secretary office while staring at her with puppy eyes. “Muzi, you’re finally here. I’ve waited so long for you, sob…”

Han Muzi was at a loss for words.

George suggested, “Let’s go! I’ll treat you to a meal at a restaurant. We can have our chat over a meal.”

Han Muzi pondered before saying, “I need to inform him. Otherwise—“

“What are you saying? Yuchi will not agree to it if he knows that you’re hanging out with me. Let’s go right now! Now!”

With that, George ignored her protests, and he pulled her hand before dragging her out.

Han Muzi didn’t have the chance to react because he was already dragging her into the elevator. Miss Lin, who was just walking out of the secretary office, exclaimed in surprise.

Why is Muzi so close with George?

However, with her relationship with the President, that seems rather understandable.

George dragged Han Muzi straight into the car. After that, he hauled her into a restaurant, where he made reservations for themselves in a nice private room.

Han Muzi realized that it was a vegetarian restaurant upon entering the place.

“Muzi, you can’t seem to handle greasy food. The restaurant we went to previously was too greasy for you. You even threw up after you got home, and that is why I chose this vegetarian restaurant on purpose. Muzi, don’t you worry. We can have a lengthy chat while we enjoy our food slowly.”

He was extremely curious about Yuchi Shen’s past, especially the part where he even had an ex-girlfriend.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response.

She suddenly felt as if… there wasn’t much to be said.

George even took the initiative to pour them tea, and he served her straight away once they sat at the table.

“Here, please, Muzi. Have a sip of tea to freshen up before our chat.”

Han Muzi was stunned to silence. Is it too late to leave now?

“Muzi, tell me, Muzi, were you truly with Yuchi in the past? In that case, how did you find him after that? Throughout the time I’ve known Yuchi, I am only aware that the Yuchi family saved him from the sea. However, I’ve never heard of his past. Besides, the Yuchi family has never brought that up.”

“Yeah…” Han Muzi nodded. “Everything… started about two months ago.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 829

Han Muzi talked about the past in brief by skipping some complicated events. She ended it within a few minutes, whereas George was in a state of bewilderment. It wasn’t until several moments before he snapped back to his senses.

“Are you saying that you and Yuchi were already at the wedding stage, but Yuchi met with an accident on your wedding day?”

Han Muzi nodded. “Mm-hmm, he did not arrive on the day of our wedding because the airplane met with an accident. We searched for him for a very long time, and we traced him all the way here. Then, I realized that he’s lost his memory, and that he doesn’t recognize anyone.”

“Was that why you tried getting into the company to get closer to Yuchi?”

Han Muzi looked slightly embarrassed. “I was left with no choice. When I met him, he was so cold and detached toward me. He didn’t recognize me at all. If I were to tell him that I was his lover previously, he would most probably take me as a lunatic,” Han Muzi commented with a self-deprecating tone, but she had a bitter smile etched across her face.

Seeing her so sad, George’s heart went out for her.

“Muzi, it has been hard on you. I suddenly feel as if Yuchi is just like a heartless guy. However… I do have some recollections about the situation you described earlier.

Previously, a bunch of friends mentioned that a bride was abandoned at the altar in a wedding in China. The groom did not show up at all, and they were mocking the bride. They made jeering remarks, saying that beautiful women were useless if they couldn’t even keep their men around.

The timing seemed right, come to think about it.

Who would have guessed that it was Han Muzi and Yuchi’s wedding?

George observed the thin and frail Han Muzi, who was sitting in front of him, and he suddenly felt that she had been through too much. Thus, he blurted out, “In that case, don’t you have a past? If you two were together for such a long time, Yuchi might believe you if you show him some proof.”

“What use is there even if he believes me?” Han Muzi chuckled bitterly. “Do you know what I had in mind when you sent me the message saying that he was about to get engaged?”

George asked swiftly, “What did you have in mind?”

“I was thinking if that was what he wanted… I would respect his decision.”

“Oh, damn!” George exclaimed.

Han Muzi shook her head with a bitter smile. “Loving someone does not mean that I have to possess him. I just hope that he is happy. If he does not fall in love with me after losing his memory, I can’t force him to stay with me if he falls for someone else. The look he gave me was icy when we first met previously. I figured… it would just result in the opposite effect if I were to tell him everything at that time.”

“So…” George threaded carefully while observing Han Muzi’s reaction. “Yuchi doesn’t know about this… until now, am I right?”

Han Muzi nodded after a moment of hesitation.

“I’ve been trying to stimulate his memories, but… nothing seems to be working. After that, I realized something. I met with Duanmu Zhe the other day, and he told me that everything between Yuchi and I was erased. No one knows about what happened apart from those of us from China.”

George was stunned to silence when he heard that.

Oh, my god. I feel like I’ve just discovered a whole new world.

Something shifted in his expression when he asked, “Is… Grandfather Yuchi behind this?”

I think he is most probably the only one with the capabilities and motive to do such a thing. Besides, Grandfather Yuchi has a clear motive for doing this.

He does not want Yuchi to be together with Muzi; instead, he wants the Yuchi family to have a union with the Duanmu family through marriage with Duanmu Xue.

Things aren’t promising if that is the truth.

“If what you say is true, Grandfather Yuchi must know you. If he realizes that you are with Yuchi now, wouldn’t it…?”

The color drained from George’s face when he said that, and he looked at Han Muzi worriedly. “Muzi, what should we do now? Have you come up with a plan?”

Han Muzi lowered her eyes, and her lips were rather pale.

“I have no idea what to do; I suppose I can try anything.”

George suggested boldly, “Why don’t we… tell Yuchi the truth straight away? After that, you can leave with him and return to China!!”

Han Muzi felt her heart skip a beat when she heard that. Take Ye Moxuan straight back to China?

“Would your plan… work? He might not even want to leave with me. Besides, I’m not sure if he could accept the truth even if I were to tell him now…”

One would only worry and fear over someone due to love.

I would have had the courage if I had revealed the truth from the very beginning. However, right now… I realize that I’m losing the courage to do so.

Will Ye Moxuan, who has lost his memories, believe what I say?

“Muzi, don’t you think you should at least try whether it may work or not? If you don’t have the courage to tell him, why don’t I try to stimulate his memories for you? You can tell me some of the names of those people from his past. I will stimulate him with some of your experiences from the past.”

George decided to bear the burden himself. Things will get messier if it drags out.

Han Muzi was still undecided.

“I will try stimulating his memories for a short while. If it truly does not work, you should tell him the truth, Muzi. If he is still reluctant to leave with you at that point, I will knock him out before sending him back to China with you.”

Han Muzi did not have a comeback for that.

George cackled with an evil laughter. “Muzi, you should hold him captive at that point, and he won’t be able to escape. The mere thought of it excites me.”

Han Muzi figured he must have had a loose screw to think that it was a good idea.

“Who are you keeping captive?”

A cold voice broke the silence from the entrance of the private room.

The familiar voice made the two of them straighten their backs reflexively before they looked toward the door.

They weren’t sure since when, but Ye Moxuan was standing at the door of the private room. He was boring a hole into George’s face at that moment with his icy gaze.

Han Muzi felt a deafening buzz in her head when she saw him, as though everything was collapsing in her world.

When did he arrive here? How long has he been standing there? How much did he hear about the conversation between George and me?

George had the exact reaction as Han Muzi. Initially, I thought that holding Yuchi Shen captive would be an exciting mission, but speak of the devil! His voice appeared out of nowhere!

In the beginning, George thought he was hearing things, but when he saw Han Muzi’s reaction, he realized that it wasn’t an illusion at all!

Yuchi Shen is here!!!

George was losing his mind!

In that case, how much of our conversation did Yuchi Shen hear?

George cleared his throat loudly before standing up. “Yuchi, why are you here??? Hahaha, come, have a seat! I ordered many dishes. Where’s the server? Why are they taking so long to serve the dishes? Oh, my. Isn’t the service of this restaurant rather disappointing? They are so slow to serve their dishes. Server! Hello, server?!”

He tried summoning the server at the top of his voice while making his way to the entrance since he was planning to make his escape. However, just when he was about to pass by Ye Moxuan, Ye Moxuan shot an arm out to block his way.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 830

The smile across George’s face almost vanished when Ye Moxuan blocked his way. However, he had to keep up appearances as a man.

“Yuchi, I’m just going to check why the dishes are taking so long to be served. Why are you blocking my way?”

Ye Moxuan shot George an icy and eerie glare without saying anything, and his lips were pursed. Nevertheless, Ye Moxuan’s aura was palpable, and it was so forceful that George took several steps backward.

“Alright, fine. I won’t leave the room, alright? I’ll wait right here for the server to serve our dishes.”

With that, he walked briskly back to the table before signaling Han Muzi with his eyes discreetly before Ye Moxuan came close.

Han Muzi’s hands were underneath the table, so no one could see them. However, she knew that she was fidgeting so hard that her fingers were digging painfully into her skin.

She was extremely anxious because the conversation she had with George was important, but she also wanted to keep it a secret.

However, Ye Moxuan’s appearance was too sudden; in fact, he interrupted them out of the blue.

I’m not even sure… if he has been standing there for quite a while just now, and if he heard my conversation with George.

Hence, she didn’t have the courage to act rashly at that moment, and so Han Muzi remained seated while staring at Ye Moxuan in silence.

Ye Moxuan approached them with heavy footsteps. However, each step he took was like a thump on Han Muzi’s heart.

Her back was covered with a sheen of cold sweat by the time he stopped in front of her. She was conflicted when she looked up at him, and it so happened that she gazed into his dark and seemingly bottomless eyes.

His eyes were their usual black, but they now looked as dark and quiet as the night sky. It was impossible for her to guess his emotions. She tried to say something to smooth things over, but nothing came out after she parted her lips.

Several seconds ticked by, and Ye Moxuan bent down abruptly while grabbing the armrest on Han Muzi’s chair. “Who are you planning to hold captive, huh?” he hissed coldly.

He was so close that she was suddenly shrouded with his masculine scent.

Han Muzi felt suffocated at that moment.

George, who was standing behind him, weighed his options swiftly before approaching him. He spoke to Ye Moxuan tentatively, “We were planning to hold you captive, of course! I was worried when Grandfather Yuchi phoned me last night, and so I made an appointment with your assistant for a chat. We came to the issue of your engagement, and that was why I suggested for her to hold you captive as the last resort. Is that a problem?”

George made all that up under dire circumstances by betting on the possibility that Ye Moxuan only caught the last part of their conversation. Ye Moxuan would have known that he was lying if he had been listening to their entire conversation.

If he doesn’t see through my excuses, it means that he hasn’t eavesdropped on our entire conversation.

As long as I work together with Muzi, we would be able to hide this from him temporarily.

True enough, Ye Moxuan scowled deeply, and his displeasure was reflected upon his eyes.

“He told you about last night?” Ye Moxuan directed the question at Han Muzi.

She was astonished, but she nodded blankly.

She blinked at George, who was still standing behind Ye Moxuan. Han Muzi finally sighed in relief when George gave her a pointed look while flashing her an ‘OK’ gesture.

Judging by Ye Moxuan’s tone, he hasn’t heard our entire conversation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be asking this question now.

Han Muzi cleared her throat and avoided Ye Moxuan’s gaze. “Mm-hmm, I know everything.”

Ye Moxuan’s pupils constricted before he reached out straight away to grab her fair wrist.

Han Muzi was stunned to silence, whereas George, who was observing from the side, couldn’t help but ask mischievously, “Well, Yuchi, why are you grabbing your secretarial assistant’s hand? Are the two of you together? In that case, should I address her as my sister-in-law instead of your assistant from now on?”

Sister-in-law?

Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows shot up in surprise at that because he thought George’s suggestion was not far off.

Thus, he put a bit of force and lifted Han Muzi from the chair before embracing her tightly. Then, he stared at George in disdain.

“You are not to kidnap my woman without my permission in the future.”

George was rendered speechless by his reaction.

Damn it! He claims that she belongs to him so casually when they just got together not too long ago. He is even hugging her so tightly in front of me.

George was rather jealous of their intimacy.

However, he couldn’t help but feel sympathetic for Han Muzi when he recalled what she said to him earlier. He was her lover, and they were already at the stage of getting married, but she just couldn’t tell him that.

George realized that he was truly being more emotionally invested in Han Muzi!

She is so considerate about others’ feelings despite suffering herself. Han Muzi is completely different from Duanmu Xue, who only cares about her own happiness and enjoys the attention even if she doesn’t necessarily like the person’s company. She might smile to you on the surface, but she would criticize you behind your back.

How could two people be so vastly different?

George lamented in his heart.

“Alright, fine. I know she belongs to you. From now on, I’ll report to you before meeting with Muzi, alright? Though honestly, I wouldn’t get any ideas around her anyway. I was just chatting with her.”

Ye Moxuan still had a chilly expression. “Chatting is not allowed too.”

George is a man after all. Even if I know that he wouldn’t get any ideas, I just can’t help but feel uneasy that she is with another man, especially when they are out without informing me.

Initially, Ye Moxuan was planning to summon her to his office after work.

However, no one answered his call, and later on, he learned that George took her away. Ye Moxuan rushed over and heard the last bit of George’s comment to Han Muzi.

Hence, he frowned unhappily when he recalled what George said earlier and warned him, “You shouldn’t be a bad influence on her.”

George shot him a confused look.

Hang on, what did I do to influence her? Since when have I had any bad influence over her?

“Yuchi, I just realized how much you like to play favoritism. What did I do to influence Muzi?”

Coincidentally, the server served the dishes at that point, and she was astounded since there was an additional person in the private room.

Han Muzi cleared her throat, and she bit her lower lip before speaking to the server, “Excuse me, can you please provide us with an extra set of cutlery?”

“Of course, that’s no problem at all. I will get that prepared right away.”

Han Muzi took the chance to shove against Ye Moxuan to free herself from his grip. However, his arms were wrapped around her waist tightly. She was embarrassed to be so intimate with Ye Moxuan in front of others, especially since George was still around.

Han Muzi tried shoving against Ye Moxuan, but to no avail, and so she whispered, “Please let me go first.”

Ye Moxuan glanced at her from the corners of his eyes. “Huh?”

“I mean we should have our meal first. We can chat about things after this,” Han Muzi explained.

Ye Moxuan did not answer her, but after a while, he released her. Han Muzi then let out a sigh of relief too.

I have experienced a series of traumatic events day after day. I wonder if the baby in my belly might end up as a scaredy-cat in the future…
